Re: open, sleep, & print together cause an error

did you try select on LOG before forcing autoflush ($|++;)?
UPDATE : Forget this post, I took too much time to submit this one. And the question was answered during the looooong time I took to check my answer. :-(

Hi arhuman, this code ended up working, too. Now I have a couple of alternatives!: `use strict; use warnings; open LOG,">foo.log" or die "can't open foo.log: $!"; my $selected = select(LOG); $\|++; select($selected); while(1) { print LOG (localtime).": something\n"; sleep(5); }` [download] Thanks a lot, arhuman. -zeno	[reply] [d/l]
